Because many of the machines used to support the F-35 are unique to the aircraft, this is the first time they are seeing the equipment. They will use what they learn here when F-35Cs land on their ship and to train other maintainers in their unit. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Peter Thompson)
